It was so damn cold at the Lincoln Park Zoo (Chicago), polar bear Anana was kept inside

In Chicago, it was too cold even for the polar bear at the Lincoln Park Zoo. While polar bears can handle below-zero cold in the wild, Anana was kept inside Monday because she doesn't have the thick layer of fat that bears typically develop from feeding on seals and whale carcasses.

The cold snap broke numerous temperature records for January 7 across the country, some of which had stood for many decades. New York City plummeted to -15 degrees Celsius, beating the previous record of -14 degrees set in 1896. Temperature in Charlotte, North Carolina, went as low as -14 degrees, breaking the -12-degree record of 1884.

Even states not usually associated with ice, saw temperatures going sub-zero on Tuesday. It was -8 degrees Celsius on top of Hawaii's dormant volcano, Mauna Kea. Florida's coastal city of Pensacola experienced temperature of -8 degrees.

The debate is over - Global Warming is man-made. The issue, the data, the crisis is all man-made and so is the Consensus.

Normal for this bear is not the same as normal for it's cousins in the Arctic. It has been acclimatized to a much warmer environment as well as missing the high fat diet it would get in the Arctic wild. Meanwhile, it must be noted that none of these cold temperatures are all time records, it was much colder in the early 1800's.

It seems that the New England area of the USA, parts of Canada and northern India could use some of that 'global warming' that we sometimes still hear about from Mindless Milne and her leftie control freak mates in Oz.

TP has the selective memory issue that most ill informed warmists have and most grant receiving global warming alarmist scientists cultivate.

Tom-the theory of global warming is that the planet is warming up at a faster rate than in previous history (which has been proven wrong so the theory is fucked straight up) and that because nature's contribution is stable then it must be the human contribution that is "most likely" causing it. That's not me, that's what the IPCC says in it's summary. About point 7 from memory.

At no stage-you pair of dolts-did the IPCC and co ever mention that it would get colder with more co2 in the atmosphere-which is exactly what has happened.

That's why they speak of climate change now, instead of global warming-BECAUSE THE THEORY OF AGW WAS WRONG. What more evidence do you need to change your mind?

Face it-you are too closed minded to ever change your mind because being means never having to admit you are wrong. We could go into a mini ice age tomorrow and every scientist you believe will move the goal posts to say this is as a result of global warming and co2 and you would still believe it. Complete and utter morons.
